Menstrual Cycle Day 14

Estrogen levels begin to decline, and progesterone levels begin to increase. The sudden burst of lutenizing hormone (LH) causes the follicle to burst, and the egg floats into the fallopian tube. This is ovulation, and ends the follicular phase. The luteal phase of the cycle is now beginning.

Outward symptoms:

Cervical fluid will be clear and stretchy - like egg whites. Cervix will be at SHOW - soft, high, open and wet. You may or may not feel mittelschmertz (ovulatory pain). Basal body temperatures are low. You may see a bit of spotting, as a result of ovulation. Your libido is high.

I'm 19 years old & i am trying to have my first baby, i've been trying for almost 4 months & nothing happens. all tho i'm still trying to be patient and keeping my hopes up. i am very confused about the cycles i got my period the 20th of august ; how do i know when i start ovulating. i really want to get pregnant
please help !!! &#128546;&#128531;&#128549;

Been trying for months. my husband works away so it's so hard to time it right. my cycle is normally around 30 days. apparently, we havent hit the mark the last few months but we tried this morning. im on day 13. he had to leave so we wont have another chance for about another week or a little longer and it may be too late by then. just hoping we hit out mark!

I am new, and self admitted confused. i am on cd 14. i had unprotected sex on the 18th of january (cd 8 if im understanding). my periods are somewhat irregular. i had about a 15-20 minute bout of unexpected nausea on the 21st. i don't recall feeling ovulation pains in the past (usually only cramp badly on day 1 &2 of cycle). i have been bloated, gassy, constipated and now bad cramps, identical to period cramps (lower left abdomen and back pain). i guess i will divulge that i was not attempting to get pregnant. but when i started feeling all these symptoms i started researching the possibility of pregnancy. i am scared and nervous as i am not very educated on process of pregnancy (i feel dumb) and just welcome feedback at the possibility of being pregnant. i know i will ultimately take a pregnancy test, but being irregular at times, i worry. i read that some women with irregular periods ovulate much earlier, ie: day 9. anyway, all the days and such are confusing me and understanding the acronyms. :( help, please.
